Is Jonathan Galgay Sexist?

None of those things would be “politically correct” or “socially acceptable” to say, so why is it acceptable for a city councilor to openly suggest that a female candidate be selected for a position?

This is in regards to Ward 2 councilor Jonathan Galgay’s open letter to the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Association, dated April 3rd, 2017.

Galgay commends the incredible officers who serve on the force, supports a change at the leadership level (in relation to current Chief Janes announcing his intention to retire,) and states “I believe the time has come to appoint a female Chief.”

With a municipal election right around the corner, it’s no surprise to see Jonathan “Trudeau” Galgay making an opportunist statement like this. After all, the cool thing to do these days is pander to the social justice and feminist crowd. They love to throw the word “sexist” around, except when the sexist statements are made towards men.

Well, now I’m throwing it around. If equality is to be had, then a statement suggesting somebody deserves a job because of their gender is sexist regardless of which gender it refers to. You can’t have it both ways.

The most equality we could ever hope for is someone being selected for a job based on their skills and qualifications, irrespective of their gender. Statements like Galgay’s propose the exact opposite of equality, suggesting that women need special treatment and wouldn’t get the job without special letters or public pressure. Let’s also not forget this would be sexual discrimination.

Tweets in response to Jonathan Galgay’s letter to the RNCA accuse him of pandering for votes and sexual discrimination.

More and more people are coming to realize the hypocrisy embedded in “political correctness” and that they no longer have to go along with it in fear of being labeled a sexist, losing their job, being attacked by special interest groups, etc. Tweets in response to Galgay’s letter are a great example of this. It’s refreshing to see such common sense. People are finally saying “enough is enough” and calling out politicians and other public figures who choose to promote double standards.

That’s bad news for politicians like Galgay, who have been brainwashed by small but vocal special interest groups, into thinking that this is a way to gain votes and support from the general public.

Let’s appoint whoever is most qualified to be Chief. No doubt it’s a tough job, especially in light of recent events. Bless whoever is up to the task, male or female. Just as with any other job, I don’t care about gender, I want the absolute most qualified and skilled person in the position.

I’m sure I speak for all of us when I say I know many hard-working women, and I have never met one who required handouts, special treatment, or letters from Jonathan Galgay to get where they are in life.

In closing, since councilor Galgay got the ball rolling, I hereby declare that the time has come to elect a female Ward 2 councilor!
